Journal Article
Bastow, E. R., Byers, S., Golub, S. B., Clarkin, C. E., Pitsillides, A. A., & Fosang, A. J. Hyaluronan synthesis and degradation in cartilage and bone. Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 65(3), 395-413. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00018-007-7360-z

Hyaluronan (HA) is a large but simple glycosaminoglycan composed of repeating D-glucuronic acid, beta 1-3 linked to N-acetyl-D-glucosamine beta 1-4, found in body fluids and tissues, in both intra- and extracellular compartments. Despite its structur... Read More about Hyaluronan synthesis and degradation in cartilage and bone.

Selective breeding for performance has resulted in distinct breeds of horse, such as the Quarter Horse (bred for acceleration) and the Arab (bred for endurance). Rapid acceleration, seen during Quarter Horse racing, requires fast powerful muscular co...
